About

Clearly we live in a period of massive change. Millions of people around the world aspire to a new way of working and living. New values and aspirations are emerging and as a result the existing social structures, inherited from the industrial revolution, don’t seem to fit anymore.

This creates a huge momentum for transformation at all levels of society. We believe that a positive, inspiring and creative approach to individual, organisational and social transformation can help unleash this powerful energy of renewal.

There is an urgent need to imagine a better future and a path to get there. We believe that love, imagination and inspiration will help in sketching a new vision of society and will also contribute to defining harmonious steps to get there.

Combining individual and social transformation is key to a successful renewal of our society. It is an illusion to think that the world can change while we, as individuals, remain in our comfort zone and refuse to boldly engage in our own personal transformation.

LIFT-UP is an artistic, educational and social project that aims to lift-up, encourage and inspire the creative forces of transformation so that we can all accelerate the renewal of our lives and of our society.Our activities are all forged with aseamlessblend of filmmaking, workshops, talks and active events. We wish to promote a positive view of our collective future and we wish to share practical ways in which we can all contribute to a deep renewal of ourselves and of our world. In short, at LIFT-Up our work can be defined as Creativity & Transformation Activism.

To LIFT-UP means to boost the forces of creative transformation;

To LIFT-UP means to bring-up optimism, inspire action and brighten our perception of current events;

To LIFT-UP means to elevate the vision of what we – individually and collectively – can aspire to become in the future;

To LIFT-UP means to move to a higher level of consciousness as we transform our personal lives and society.

The name LIFT-UP is actually an acronym of 7 words which together make-up our set of Values : LOVE – IMAGINATION- FREEDOM – TRANSFORMATION – stillness – UNITY- PEACE.

Taking this concept one step further, these 7 values can be formulated as a list of 7 actions to be taken by anyone who wants to engage in a successful transformation process:

Rekindle your LOVE of Life

Reignite your IMAGINATION

Reconquer your FREEDOM

Reengage in your TRANSFORMATION

Rediscover the (stillness)

Recompose your UNITY

Reconnect with your inner PEACE
